Diamond deposits are divided into primary ore and placer. The primary ore is diamond existing in the host rock. The placer is separated from the host rock under the action of external forces such as weathering and erosion and water impact, and then the diamond deposits are mostly Sandy. Diamonds are shallow from the ground.

In addition to metal-bearing deposits, "ore" can also refer to a deposit that is a source of a non-metallic substance such as bitumen, coal, diamonds or sulphur.

After coarse reduction in jaw or cone crushers the diamond-bearing ore is fed into drum mills for wet milling. Lumps of ore of up to 1.5 metres in size are reduced to 0.5 metres and smaller. This slurry of finely ground ore is sent into spiral classifiers, separating the material by density. The ore is then screened into several fractions.

Introduction. Tailings consist of ground rock and process effluents that are generated in a mine processing plant. Mechanical and chemical processes are used to extract the desired product from the run of the mine ore and produce a waste stream known as tailings. This process of product extraction is never 100% efficient, nor is it possible to ...

Diamonds ascend to Earth's surface in rare molten rock, or magma, that originates at great depths. Carrying diamonds and other samples from Earth's mantle, this magma rises and erupts in small but violent volcanoes. Just beneath such volcanoes is a carrot-shaped "pipe" filled with volcanic rock, mantle fragments, and some embedded diamonds.

Rock or Solid Mine Waste. Open pit mining has several stages of waste. First, to access the actual seams or veins of ore, the top layers of rock or overburden must be removed. Once the overburden has been removed, the seams can be extracted. When extracting the seams, there is additional waste rock that must be separated from the ore.

A notable design parameter to be taken into account is the factor of dilution. Dilution is the waste material not separated from the ore in the stages of mining, and is sent to the processing plant. It is defined at the ratio of tonnage waste mined and sent for processing over the combined ore and waste tonnage milled.

Stages shown in time-sequential order are mining, crushing, grinding, ore separation and concentrate dewatering. From the mining phase two outputs are waste rock to the waste rock pile and waste water from both mining and the waste rock pile. Water and reagents are added at the grinding and ore separation stages.

It sounds incongruous, but through much of the last century, diamond mining profits came from speed - recovering as many diamonds as possible in the shortest time possible. That meant blasting the kimberlite into small pieces, then using giant steel jaws to crush it into even smaller pieces to quickly separate diamonds from waste rock.

The Mining Process. 1. Mining - Open Pit and Underground — To define the ore from the waste rock, samples are taken and assayed. Assay results are used to mark out areas of ore and waste rock, which are mined separately. Some of the harder areas require blasting to loosen the rock prior to excavation by hydraulic diggers.
